Two steers, one held by a boy and one held by a man in a butcher's apron, stand in front of the commercial buildings along unpaved Eureka Street in Central City, Colorado. A man in a butcher's apron and a cowboy hat sits on a horse behind the boy with the steer. Men and boys dressed in work clothes stand on the sidewalk behind the animals. Signs on the buildings read, "Market, Huber & Gruber" "L. Alexander" "Wines and Liquors" "Cigars & Tobacco" and "Fruits & Stationery." A dog is on the sidewalk behind the man with the first steer.
